Selling Point: Very simple/fast/easy/low CPU and quality modal resonator effect. Fastest workflow i've seen in any BP modal resonator bank.
This is basically a huge bank of digital BP filters in parallel. When tuned based on their spacing and pitch, this is basically a very complex Comb filter whose resonances are not necessarily Harmonic (based on integer overtone series).
Users can also bend the inharmonics, choose their spacing, and their decay times over a spectral envelope.
Cons:
-As mentioned in another review, no key tracking is a big issue. This cannot be used to uniformly affect the timbres of all MIDI notes, so it should not be used as an instrumental modal resonator. As an FL studio user, I can use Patcher, but I am adverse to using that software.
-Limited to what you can create with BP resonators only. No String/Bowed/Comb Filter resonators.
-No Exciter or any control to what goes into this effect. This is purely for Processing, and cannot generate an Impulse.
-Very simple and doesn't have too much control over the exact tuning of the BP resonators. Though simplicity is also a Pro.
-Does not self-resonate. This is my greatest gripe, at high intensity the decay is large but the resonances of these BP filters do not have self-oscillation or enough amplitude to create more crispy/organic/realistic sounding Modal Resonators. The resonators do have quite a bit of resonances, but it needs more character and self-oscillation to compete with Chromophone/ Zebra 3/ etc.
